Psypoke featured a Slowpoke crawling across the bottom of the site and forums with the message "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" on April 2, 2013 after not running a prank on April 1.

Pokécommunity made all of their user's posts have a random Pokémon for their Avatar, Username and the Custom User Title to that of the random Pokémon. The Pokémon would change upon every time the page is refreshed, and the Pokemon may become a Shiny Pokémon, signified by a sparkling effect on the Username and the Avatar will show a Pokémon's shiny sprite. Also, the Fifth Generation Gaming Moderator 'Forever' claimed that she would be leaving the site, but was later revealed to be a prank.
